On Boston Spaceships track “John The Dwarf Wants To Become An Angel,” Robert Pollard is once again using a guitar arpeggio—with a fretted note on the sixth string along with the open fifth, fourth, and third strings—to great effect. He combines this with a few chords, including a couple of the two-string chords of which he seems so fond, to create an instantly memorable guitar riff.
